Chapter 118: Misty Valley

"Behind our village is a big mountain. When we were children, Chinese medicine was prevalent, and we even went up to the mountains with adults to collect medicines and sell them for money. Ning Zhengwen recalled.

"By the way, at that time, there was a 'misty valley' in the mountains, and the medicinal herbs in it were called rich. Ning Zhengwu said with a fluttering eyebrow, and then he thought of something again, and his face darkened.

"'Misty Valley'?" Long Chengyu asked with a puzzled expression.

"That was a time ago. Something happened there, and now everyone calls it 'Death Valley', a forbidden place for our nearby villages. "Ning Zhengwen's mention of 'Death Valley' seems to be full of jealousy.

"Oh, forbidden land?" Ning Zhengwen said, and Long Chengyu became even more interested. Seeing this, Brother Ning Zhengwu was a little anxious. In order to dispel Long Chengyu's curiosity, the two of them introduced the "Misty Valley" word by word.

It turns out that the "Misty Valley" is a low-lying valley deep in the mountains against which Bashang Village is backed. There is plenty of water inside, and vegetation grows luxuriantly.

Soon, the ordinary plants and trees were luxuriant, and there were still a lot of medicinal herbs growing in them. Some herbalists near Bashang Village like to go there to collect medicines. Until thirty or forty years ago, strange things happened one after another in the "Misty Valley".

First, one of the herbalists died inside, and then two of the few people who went in to help the apprentice dispose of the corpse went crazy when they came out.

People can't help but start to suspect that the "Misty Valley" is evil. Soon after, two more herb pickers walked together, and after hearing a ghost-like cry from the valley, they fled with their own ears.

One of them did not escape, and after the other escaped from the "Misty Valley", it didn't take long for him to be over-frightened, and finally he hanged himself for some reason.

In this way, people are even more certain that there must be something wrong with this "Misty Valley". In the end, Bashang Village, together with several nearby villages, organized twenty or thirty people to go into the "Misty Valley" to investigate.

I didn't find anything unusual in the valley, only a chilly feeling inside. Later, many of the people who went into the valley to investigate felt unwell in one way or another.

Four or five people even developed mental abnormalities. Since that time, people have not dared to enter the "Misty Valley" to collect medicine, and they have not even dared to approach the "Misty Valley".

"The year before last, there was a family in the next village who lost their cattle and followed the trail to find the 'Misty Valley'. Because they felt sorry for the cow, the couple went into the valley to look for it, but who knew that this search would not come out again. Ning Zhengwu's daughter-in-law sighed and said.

Later, their relatives organized a dozen people to go in and found the bodies of the two people. Ning Zhengwu continued.

"This, why haven't I heard of it?" Ning Jiaxin couldn't help but shrink her body.

"You were still young at that time, and we were afraid that you and the Southern Army would be afraid, so we didn't tell you these things. Ning Zhengwen explained.

"What's even worse is that the relatives who went in to look for them were all the same as thirty or forty years ago, and two of the older ones died within a few days. Ning Zhengwu's daughter-in-law said secretly.

"Is it really such an evil sect?" said Long Chengyu with a frown. As a cultivator, Long Chengyu is not afraid of ghosts and gods, but if there are accidents in this place one after another, then there must be a reason for it.

"yes, yes. So now, even if there are individual village herbs who need medicinal herbs, they don't go into the 'Misty Valley' to collect them. If you can pick it in other places, you can pick it in other places, and if you can't pick it, you can buy it in the county seat or a larger city medicine store. ”

Ning Zhengwen and Ning Zhengwu saw Long Chengyu frowning, but Long Chengyu was scared, but they were relieved in their hearts. They were afraid that Long Chengyu would be eager to collect medicine, and then driven by curiosity, they would run to the "Misty Valley".

"That's right. In this way, isn't the medicinal herbs in the 'Misty Valley' not picked and wasted?" Long Chengyu said with some yearning.

As soon as these words came out, Ning Zhengwen and Ning Zhengwu's brothers all changed slightly. They didn't expect that Long Chengyu would still care about the medicinal materials in the "Misty Valley" after listening to everyone's story.

"The medicinal materials inside, how can anyone care about the medicinal materials inside. No matter how valuable a medicine is, it is not as important as human life. Ning Zhengwu's daughter-in-law obviously understood her husband's worries and helped speak.

"Well, Dr. Long, you don't have the intention of going to the 'Misty Valley', do you? Ning said anxiously at noon.

"yes, yes. If there is any shortage of medicine, let's go to the county seat and buy it. It's really not good, we can go to other cities and other provincial trustees to buy it. Don't risk it for us, we'd rather not heal. Ning Zhengwen also said solemnly.

"Don't be nervous. I won't joke with my life......" Long Chengyu knew the concerns of the two, and immediately said, "Okay, we will divide into two ways, Uncle Zhengwen will go to the county seat to get medicine, and I will go up the mountain to collect medicine, but you can rest assured." I'm definitely not near 'Misty Valley'. ”

Ning Zhengwen and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Long Chengyu's assurance. Everyone discussed for a while, and Ning Zhengwu and his wife took the money given by Ning Jiaxin to the city to buy medicine.

Ning Jiaxin wanted to stay and take care of Ning Zhengwen, and she was not familiar with the roads in the mountains. Ning Zhengwen was worried that Long Chengyu would run into the "Misty Valley" after he didn't know the road.

At this time, Ning Mingqiang ran over. After simply hearing that Long Chengyu was going to go into the mountain to collect medicine, Ning Mingqiang volunteered to take Long Chengyu into the mountain.

With Ning Mingqiang leading the way, Ning Zhengwen was of course relieved. After telling Ning Mingqiang not to take the road to the "Misty Valley", he let the two go up the mountain.

Ning Mingqiang actually still has to go to work this afternoon, and he only has a little time in the morning. After accompanying Long Chengyu into the mountain, he looked for medicinal materials for a while, but the harvest was not good.

Long Chengyu still wanted to look for a while, but Ning Mingqiang had to go down the mountain first. But he repeatedly told Long Chengyu not to take those roads in the east.

Long Chengyu knew that it must lead to the "Misty Valley". He agreed on the surface, but after waiting for Ning Mingqiang to walk away, he accelerated his pace and walked towards the east.

After walking for more than an hour, I found that there were fewer and fewer people, and the road became less and less obvious, and sometimes I had to step out of a road. Long Chengyu is even more sure that this is the road to the "Misty Valley".

Because the villagers regard it as a forbidden place and do not dare to approach it, it is why the road leading there seems so desolate. As a martial artist with a lot of means, Long Chengyu is naturally a master of art and bold, and decided to break into this forbidden place.

One of the reasons is to get together the medicine to help Ning Zhengwen brother treat the disease, and the other reason is also to try his luck, since Ning Zhengwen brother said that this was once a treasure land for producing medicine, Long Chengyu wanted to see if he could find the two medicinal materials that were missing in the preparation of "Da Baicao Soup".

After turning over the two mountain beams, Long Chengyu finally saw a low-lying valley. The valley is verdant, the trees are really green, there is not a trace of abnormality, and there is no trace of danger, as if it is a calm valley.

Long Chengyu even wondered if he had come to the wrong place. But no matter what, since the grass and trees are growing so well, there will always be some medicinal herbs, with this thought, Long Chengyu walked down the mountain beam and approached the valley.

The closer he got to the valley, the cooler he felt, and when he approached the valley, Long Chengyu even felt a chill. But for the sake of medicinal materials, Long Chengyu did not stop, and the special climate can grow some special medicinal materials.

Although Long Chengyu was already very careful not to make a sound, he still couldn't help but step on some dead branches, alarming some insects and birds nearby. The sound of insects and birds flying was not very loud in this quiet valley, and it spread far away.

However, even with such worries, insects and birds fly from time to time, there are still no other abnormalities. This made Long Chengyu relax his vigilance a little and concentrate on finding medicinal materials.

After walking less than two or three miles, he really found some medicinal herbs, a few of which were even medicinal herbs that were not usually common. It's a pity that there is no trace of the sparkling flower and the thousand flame vines.

Long Chengyu knew that good medicine was hard to find, but he was not in a hurry, and looked for it patiently. I don't know when, Long Chengyu found that a faint mist gradually filled his surroundings.

Looking overhead, the sun was already setting in the west, presumably the temperature had dropped by this time, and the climate in the valley was humid, so the mist began to rise.

"Gotta hurry up, or we'll have to sleep in the wild tonight." Thinking like this, Long Chengyu couldn't help but speed up under his feet, and in the back basket used to hold medicine, there were gradually more medicinal materials.

Just as Long Chengyu was about to turn around and go out of the valley, he found that he was actually lost. Because the fog around me was even bigger, I was concentrating on collecting medicine when I came, and I couldn't see the way for a while.

Fortunately, Long Chengyu had excellent psychological quality and did not panic, but based on his experience as a special forces soldier in his previous life, he calmly analyzed his position and began to find a way out of the valley.

It didn't take long for him to finally sort out some clues. However, at this moment, Long Chengyu suddenly had a strange feeling of being spied on.

The strange thing is, of course, when I looked at the place where the peeping sensation came, there was indeed nothing unusual there, except for the grass and trees under the light mist, there were no human figures, and there were no animal shadows.

But Long Chengyu believed in his intuition very much, especially when he opened up the sea of knowledge and cultivated his soul power, he believed in his intuition even more.

"What kind of person!" Long Chengyu snorted softly, and walked towards the area where there was a sense of wariness. He knew that there were people with special skills that could hide cleverly in the vegetation, especially in such a misty environment.

Although the possibility of hiding a master in such a nameless valley is very small, it is not ruled out.

One step, two steps...... Long Chengyu approached there step by step, but there was still nothing unusual there, but the feeling of being peeped at did not disappear.
